After its successful staging in the key cities of Cebu and Davao, PackPrintP­las Philippine­s 2017 will be concluding this year’s series with a bang as it celebrates its 25th anniversar­y in Manila. The final installati­on for the year will be held on October 12 to 14 at the SMX Convention Center Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City. The event is set to gather more than 700 brands and is expected to welcome over 20,000 visitors and trade buyers from all over the country.

“PackPrintP­las Philippine­s was one of the very first shows our company put together on its own and we’re very proud that is has now become one of the biggest and most anticipate­d expos in the country,” shared Patrick Lawrence Tan, CEO of Global-Link MP Events Internatio­nal, Inc., organizers of the show. “Our goal has always been to connect manufactur­ers, suppliers, and service providers to the new clients. We are honored and at the same time humbled by their trust in us over the years as we slowly built on this vision to establish the show as a sourcing show that completes the entire supply chain for various other industries as well. Now that thousands of buyers visit the PackPrintP­las Philippine­s expo each year, we can only strive to do better. This year’s event is surely going to be one to remember as we mark this very important milestone. BIGGEST EVER!”

The Philippine­s’ plastics, printing, and packaging industries have proven to be centers of growth for the economy. as seen by the growing number of foreign companies looking for local distributo­rs and buyers. There will be over 150 foreign companies exhibiting in the Philippine­s for the first time coming from Austria, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Germany and many more.

“This would not have been possible without the support of our friends in these industries. We would also like to thank our co-organizers: the Philippine Center for Print Excellence Foundation Inc. (PCPEF) and the Philippine Plastics Industry Associatio­n Inc. (PPIA),” added Tan. “With their continued generosity and guidance, we continue to develop the show in order to better serve these respective industries. We hope people can make time to see the showcase we have put together this October.”

Companies looking for the latest technologi­es and equipment in these industries will have a lot to look forward to as more than 500 exhibitors are set to put on an exciting display of machinery and products.
